The 50/50 blend of camel and silk finished drying. Here’s the skein…. Spinning this was beyond my skill level. I managed to survive but the yarn is a bit wonky in places. I’m stickin’ to wool for a while (except I’ve got that tussah silk roving…. oh never mind!).

Anyway, she usually watches t.v., plays with toys and comes in to talk to me while I am soaking wet. The conversation […]
Continue reading →I’ve been slacking off with the knitting. Lost my mojo. I’m hoping it will return soon. I have done some spinning. I spun the 50/50 blend of camel and silk and plied it (2 ply). I put it in the sink today for a good soak and I took a photo. However, the camera apparently […]

Although my spinning leaves a lot to be desired, this is actually the best plying job I’ve ever done. 2. Stepfather went back to the nursing center day before yesterday. Today he went back into the hospital. Has pneumonia. […]

Continue reading →I figured some updates were about due… 1. Stepfather. SF was put back in the hospital last week due to an infection. It is unclear when he will be able to return to the nursing facility. My mom is holding up okay. Her close friend just passed away and she is taking care of her […]

(Doh!) I do have loot. Will that provide me with enough proof? I came home with all sock yarn. There’s Fleece Artist, […]
